Several drugs/chemicals were allowed to interact with the cytochrome P-450 dependent mixed function oxidase system in the postmitochrondrial supernatant fractions of Ficoll-Hypaque-separated granulocytes from human normal subjects and patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. The substrate-induced spectral changes were followed by recording the difference spectra. Compounds conventionally classified as type I and type II substrates, on addition to S1 fractions of both normal and leukemic granulocytes, caused spectral changes that were reverse to those reported for the rat liver microsomes. Aminopyrine, phenobarbital, and Tween 80 evoked a reverse type I spectral change with a peak at 420-430 nm and a trough at 380-400 nm, whereas aniline and pyridine induced a modified type I (a reverse type II) spectral change characterized by a peak at 408 nm and a trough at 421 nm. These changes were found to be quantitatively proportional to the amounts of substrate added. However, the magnitude of the peaks and troughs was considerably less in the S1 fraction of the leukemic granulocytes. Correspondingly, total heme content was significantly decreased in S1 fractions of CML granulocytes as compared to similar fractions of normal granulocytes.
